2012 Map of Skuna

About this map

The Skuna River and the engineered Skuna River Canal dominate this portion of Calhoun County, illustrating a landscape defined by significant water management and drainage efforts. The map reveals a rural settlement pattern where small communities like Shepherd, Bounds, Pittman, and Partee are linked by an extensive network of county roads. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its documentation of several burial sites, including Zion Springs Cem, Mount Tabor Cem, and Old Tabernacle Cem, which serve as anchors for the area's dispersed homesteads. The terrain is crisscrossed by numerous named waterways such as Lickup Cr, Burkes Cr, and Savannah Cr, reflecting a bottomland geography where timber and agriculture have long been shaped by the river's influence.
